This article addresses electrohypersensitivity (EHS) in the context of public health and EMF-related health concerns. It focuses on distinguishing beliefs about EMF effects from what is currently supported by scientific evidence. The provided text notes ongoing debate and concern and calls for critical assessment of…

This review synthesizes evidence on Earth's geomagnetic field history and discusses how early establishment of the field (at least 4.2 billion years ago, inferred from zircon magnetism) may have supported planetary habitability via radiation shielding and water preservation. It highlights a proposed near-collapse of…

This engineering study evaluated how different 7T parallel-transmit head coils and SAR supervision strategies affect nonselective pTx pulse design for a 3D-MPRAGE sequence. It reports that FOCUS pulses were more robust than universal pulses when applied across different coils, and that FOCUS inversion pulses…

This laboratory remediation study evaluates low-frequency AC electromagnetic field (AC EMF) induction heating of sulfidated microscale zero-valent iron (S-mZVI) to enhance dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE). The authors report substantially higher heating of S-mZVI under AC EMF and faster TCE degradation than…

This engineering study describes miniaturized, flexible, battery-free wearable pulse oximetry systems that use near-field communication (NFC) for wireless operation. The devices capture and transmit photoplethysmograms to derive blood oxygenation, heart rate, and heart rate variability. The abstract reports…

This in vitro materials study compares microwave irradiation versus conventional water-bath heating for synthesizing HPMC-graft-(PVA-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels loaded with captopril. The authors report that microwave-synthesized hydrogels had more uniformly porous structures and higher swelling ratios, with…

This study investigated 2 nm protein-stabilized gold nanoclusters in six mammalian cell types under 1 GHz electromagnetic field exposure. The authors report low intrinsic toxicity of the nanoclusters, but a significant decrease in cell viability when nanocluster-incubated cells were exposed to the 1 GHz field,…

This case report describes a paediatric burn injury resulting from a mobile phone lithium-ion battery explosion. The patient was treated with selective enzymatic debridement, which the authors note is simple, minimally invasive, and safe. The report concerns an acute thermal injury mechanism rather than EMF exposure.

This engineering study addresses measurement error in magnetoelastic resonance sensors caused by Earth's magnetic field. The authors present an antisymmetric magnetic bias field approach and compare the ribbon response to external perturbation fields against a conventional design. They report a 77% reduction in the…

This theoretical/physics study analyzes the spectrum of electron-phonon complexes in monolayer graphene in a perpendicular quantizing magnetic field. It reports that near the threshold of optical phonon emission, standard perturbation theory fails for calculating the scattering amplitude. The authors describe new…

This paper describes a new magnetization transfer 31P MRS approach (MT-ISIS) for measuring the creatine kinase forward reaction rate in the human brain using a volume 31P/1H RF coil on a clinical 3-T MRI system. The method aims to reduce acquisition time (30 min), avoid scalp muscle contamination, improve RF…
